Profoto A1 Bounce Card

Professional Flash Accessory for Controlled Bounce Lighting

Professional photographers face a constant challenge: creating soft, natural-looking light while maintaining sufficient flash power for low-light environments. The Profoto A1 Bounce Card solves this dilemma by redirecting flash upward at 45 degrees while directing controlled fill light toward your subject.

Key Technical Features

• Create a more directional look when using A1X or A1 for bouncing.
• Easily clicks on and off the A1X or A1’s magnetic mount.
• Can be stacked with other A1X or A1 modifiers.
• Lightweight and portable.
• Stored in a microfiber pouch.

Q1: Will the Profoto A1 Bounce Card fit my camera's flash system?
The bounce card is specifically designed for Profoto A1 and A1X flash units. It requires the appropriate Profoto A1 model for your camera system - Canon, Nikon, or Sony versions are available. For other camera brands like Fujifilm, you can use the Canon version with an Air Remote TTL trigger.

Q2: What's the difference between the bounce card and dome diffuser?
The bounce card maintains 80% of your flash power while creating directional fill light, whereas dome diffusers reduce power by approximately 50%. Bounce cards excel for distant subjects or low-light conditions where maximum flash output is crucial. The dome diffuser provides more even 360-degree light spread but sacrifices power.

Q3: Does this product come with warranty and how quickly can I receive it in India?
Profoto products typically include manufacturer warranty coverage. Shipping within India varies by location, with most retailers offering standard delivery timeframes. Contact authorized Profoto dealers for specific warranty terms and expedited shipping options.

Q4: Can I use the bounce card outdoors without a ceiling to bounce from?
Yes, the bounce card works excellently outdoors by creating its own directional light source. It's particularly effective for outdoor portraits, event photography, and situations where traditional ceiling bounce isn't available. The card directs fill light toward your subject while the main flash creates the primary illumination.

Q5: How does this compare to DIY bounce card solutions?
While DIY cards using white cardboard work functionally, the Profoto bounce card offers precise engineering with optimal size ratios, durable construction, and seamless magnetic integration. The dual-surface design (white/black) provides versatility that homemade solutions lack, plus the microfiber storage pouch ensures longevity.
